supercoupe supercharger on 2.8L?

[thehotwire]

i know you can custom fab anything to fit anything but how difficult would yall think?

seventeen.


no seriously though, i don't know how to rate that. it all depends on your skill and access to the proper tools.

for a beginner who's never welded or machined, nigh unto impossible.
for a professional, a straightforward job, but it would still take time and money.

The 2.8 is a 60 degree and the 3.8 is a 90 degree. Don't think it will work for ya.

well yall actually the thing is the super coupes were intercooled which means the only problem i will run into is a place to lay it where it wont be in the way, then get a carb bonnet and hook it up after the intercooler, much easier than i thought at first, and come to find out they actually make kits do adapt a supercoupe supercharger to a ranger, but the newer rangers.

Wow! a blow through carb setup. Not seen one of those in thirty years or more. This should be an interesting exersize in frustration.

T&B performance downtown just finished up a procharger set up on a dart big block using a blow-through carburetor. Its a pullin truck... that put out 2300hp.

If the OP were to find a blow-through carburetor, it'll make his life a lot easier than to try and set the OEM carb up for a supercharger.

If you're going to do blow thru, make life easy for your self and use a turbo instead of a supercharger. A suitable turbo can be found for probably less than 40 bucks in a junkyard (at least around here one can buy them for $20 all day long). A turbo will be much easier to mount than a supercharger.

Blow thru carbs are actually pretty common on the hot rod scene anymore. Not with superchargers, but with turbos. CSU is a major maker of blow thru carbs.
